Today's guest, Houri Tamizifar, Co-Founder and CEO of Cynuria Inc. and Inc. 5000 honoree (Rank No. 2502), joins the show to discuss the growing importance of Leadership Adaptability and the evolving role of AI in education. Houri shares why college students must proactively build AI skills and collaborate with faculty to stay ahead of rapid technological changes shaping the workforce. She highlights how clear communication and a culture of trust are critical for navigating organizational change and driving innovation. Houri also urges CEOs to lead with empathy, prioritize employee well-being, and create environments where teams feel empowered to adapt, grow, and thrive in a shifting job market. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:34 Introducing Huri Tami Zafar 6:03 AI and Learning Solutions 10:14 Understanding Learning Agility 12:01 Advice for Students on Learning 14:52 Leadership Principles for Growth 19:18 The Role of Core Values 21:16 Defining Business Adaptability 26:12 Empathy in Leadership Leadership Adaptability & the Future of AI in Education In this episode, we sit down with Houri Tamizifar, co-founder and CEO of Sinuria, for a candid conversation about Leadership Adaptability and the fast-growing influence of AI in education and training. Houri opens by stressing why college students can't wait for AI to simply "show up" in their curriculum, because in most cases, it won't. She encourages students to take initiative, seek out AI learning opportunities, and collaborate with their professors so they're prepared for the technology-driven workforce they'll be entering. Host Gene Hammett adds a leadership lens, pointing out that adaptability isn't just about being flexible; it's about communicating clearly and guiding teams with confidence when technology and industry trends change rapidly. Both he and Houri shine a light on how organizations that embrace innovation and curiosity will be the ones that stay competitive. Building Learning Agility & the Role of AI in the Job Market Houri shares her long journey in the education sector and how it inspired her to launch Sinuria, a company grounded in neuroscience-based training and human capital solutions. She also introduces her new startup focused on using AI to support instructional designers—making learning design faster, sharper, and more impactful. It's a reflection of her belief that the learning industry is evolving quickly, and organizations must evolve right along with it. The conversation then shifts to AI's growing impact on the job market. Houri explains that companies are already leaning toward hiring people who not only understand AI but are also willing to work alongside it. She highlights learning agility, a core value at Cynuria, as a must-have skill for employees who want to grow, stay relevant, and help their organizations maintain a competitive edge in a constantly shifting landscape. Trust, Culture, and Leading With Empathy Houri dives into one of her strongest beliefs: that a culture rooted in trust fuels innovation. She describes Sinuria's intentional hiring process designed to find people whose values align with the company and explains why giving employees room to think creatively and operate from their strengths leads to stronger results. She also addresses the very real human side of change. Adaptability doesn't always come naturally, and employees often feel anxious as new technologies emerge. Houri emphasizes the importance of leaders communicating openly, offering support, and creating environments where change feels less intimidating. As the conversation wraps, Houri offers heartfelt advice to CEOs: lead with empathy. Understand what your people are facing, prioritize their well-being, and give them the time and space they need to adjust as the world of work transforms. In her view, adaptability isn't just a leadership skill; it's an act of empowerment that helps teams not only navigate change but thrive because of it. Key Takeaways Leadership Adaptability is Non-Negotiable: Effective leaders must communicate clearly, guide teams through constant change, and foster a culture that embraces innovation. AI Skills Are Becoming Essential: Students can no longer rely solely on traditional education—proactively learning AI tools and engaging with faculty is critical for future career readiness. Learning Agility Drives Success: Organizations increasingly prioritize employees who are curious, flexible, and willing to adapt to rapidly evolving technologies. Trust Fuels Innovation: Building a culture grounded in trust empowers employees to think creatively, collaborate deeply, and perform at their best. AI Is Reshaping the Job Market: Companies are leaning toward hires who can work effectively with AI and understand how to integrate it into their roles. Empathy Is a Leadership Advantage: CEOs and leaders who prioritize employee well-being create more resilient and adaptable teams. Change Requires Communication: A transparent, supportive approach makes it easier for employees to navigate new technologies and shifting workplace expectations. Empowered Teams Thrive: When leaders give people space to use their strengths, creativity, and voice, organizations become more agile and competitive.

In this episode, I break down the core habits that set successful CEOs apart and how those habits directly influence organizational growth. We explore the risks of overcommitting and getting too deep into day-to-day operations, a common trap that can cloud strategic focus. I make the case for a more disciplined approach to choosing opportunities and explain why shifting from monthly to weekly performance metrics can dramatically improve agility. We also dive into the value of developing strong leaders at every level and the role of clear, consistent communication in preventing costly misunderstandings. Ultimately, this episode is designed to help leaders sharpen their habits, elevate their impact, and accelerate growth. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:07 Good CEO Habits 2:56 Delegation and Ownership 5:17 The Power of Selectivity 7:27 Agility in Metrics 9:18 Building Leadership Depth 10:44 Communication Clarity 12:06 Reflecting on Improvement The Hidden Traps CEOs Fall Into: Good CEO Habits Start Here In this episode of Grow Think Tank, we're having an honest conversation about the everyday habits that can make or break a CEO's effectiveness. I'm Gene Hammett, and I'll walk you through some of the subtle traps leaders fall into, starting with the urge to say yes to everything. As CEOs, we're wired to see possibilities everywhere. I've been there myself, feeling like every new idea or opportunity could be "the one" that drives big growth. But a packed calendar isn't a sign of progress. In fact, it often pulls us away from the handful of initiatives that truly move the business forward. We also dig into one of the biggest bad habits: trying to stay involved in every operational detail. Research shows that CEOs spend an incredible amount of time in meetings, up to 72%, according to Harvard. That's a lot of hours that could be spent on creativity, strategy, and vision. I talk about how letting go, delegating more intentionally, and staying out of the weeds is actually one of the Good CEO Habits that fuels growth. Choosing the Right Opportunities: Not All "Yeses" Are Created Equal Next, we talk about the cultural pressure inside organizations to chase every possibility. Saying yes feels productive, but spreading yourself too thin rarely leads to meaningful impact. I share why developing a disciplined approach to opportunity selection is a hallmark of Good CEO Habits. Leaders who grow consistently don't chase more; they chase better. Warren Buffett said it best: the difference between successful people and really successful people is that the latter say no to almost everything. From there, we explore how shifting from monthly performance metrics to weekly check-ins can transform agility. Monthly metrics tell you what went wrong last month. Weekly metrics help you fix what's happening right now. That faster feedback loop helps teams stay aligned, spot issues early, and maintain momentum. Build Leaders, Build Clarity, Build Growth Finally, we look inward, specifically at how CEOs develop the strength of their team and the clarity of their communication. A powerful CEO doesn't try to be an expert in everything. Instead, they build depth in their leadership team, ensuring every department has someone capable, confident, and empowered. Closing those leadership gaps is essential for scaling it's another core Good CEO Habit that separates high-growth organizations from the rest. We also talk about communication, the kind of communication that goes beyond "good enough." Assumptions create confusion, rework, and frustration. Clear, intentional communication creates alignment and trust. I share how being explicit rather than vague can eliminate misunderstandings before they start. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to reflect on your own habits. Which ones are helping you grow, and which ones might be holding you back? When we ask better questions about how we lead, we uncover opportunities to evolve both as individuals and as organizations. That's what we aim for here on Grow Think Tank: helping leaders become more effective, more intentional, and more equipped to scale with confidence. Key Takeaways Fewer commitments lead to better focus. Saying yes to everything creates noise. The most effective CEOs choose opportunities selectively and focus on initiatives that truly drive growth. Staying out of the weeds is a leadership strength. CEOs who try to oversee every detail lose valuable time for strategy, creativity, and vision. Delegation is not just helpful it's essential. Weekly metrics create agility. Shifting from monthly to weekly performance reviews helps teams catch issues earlier, adapt faster, and maintain momentum. Depth in leadership beats well-roundedness. CEOs don't need to be experts in every area they need strong leaders around them. Building leadership capacity at every level accelerates scale. Clarity in communication prevents costly mistakes. "Good enough" communication isn't good enough. Explicit, intentional clarity avoids misunderstandings and keeps teams aligned. Good CEO Habits require intentional reflection. Sustainable growth comes from regularly reassessing your habits, asking better leadership questions, and making small adjustments with big impact. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:26 Introduction to Novex Supply Chain 2:40 Embracing AI in Logistics 6:34 The Human Element in Business 8:17 Leadership and Culture Connection 10:31 Highlighting Company Values 13:18 Living the Values 16:48 Independent Teams and Leadership 17:28 Overcoming Control Issues 21:23 Focusing on Valuable Work 24:28 The Worth of Cultural Efforts Building a Values-Driven Culture From the Ground Up In this Grow Think Tank interview, Kelsey Hensley, founder of Novex Supply Chain, shares how rapid growth as a bi-coastal 3PL provider pushed her to shape company culture intentionally. She walks through the six core values that guide Novex. Kindness, openness, intentionality, trustworthiness, initiative, and accountability, and how they influence decisions, hiring, coaching, and team interactions. Kelsey describes the pride she feels watching employees embody these values not only at work but in their personal lives, reinforcing the power of a values-first culture. Leadership Principles and Tech, AI, and the Human Touch in Logistics Empowerment Kelsey and Gene shift the conversation to today's evolving workplace and the rise of AI in logistics. While acknowledging industry layoffs and the anxiety surrounding automation, Kelsey stresses that technology should enhance human performance, not replace it. She believes logistics still thrives on relationships and personalized service, which machines cannot replicate. For Novex, AI is a tool, not the driver, and the company remains committed to keeping people at the heart of the business. Why Culture Shapes Leadership: Not the Other Way Around Diving deeper, Kelsey emphasizes that culture determines the type of leaders who emerge. She shares the breakthroughs she had once she formally defined Novex's core values, giving the organization a clear framework for hiring, training, and accountability. Her hiring philosophy centers on behavior over skill. Skills can be taught, but misaligned behaviors disrupt teams. By prioritizing value-aligned behavior, Kelsey has cultivated a dependable, supportive environment where people can thrive. Learning to Let Go: A Founder's Leadership Evolution Reflecting on her journey, Kelsey discusses her early tendency to control every detail of the business and how a long overseas family trip forced her to step back. Trusting her team, allowing them to make mistakes, learn, and lead became a turning point for Novex. Empowering her people has freed her to focus on strategy, brand development, and deeper client relationships. Her story highlights how founders evolve and how letting go can unlock growth, independence, and a stronger culture. Key Takeaways Values Drive Everything: Novex Supply Chain's six core values kindness, openness, intentionality, trustworthiness, initiative, and accountability serve as the foundation for decision-making, hiring, and team development. Culture Shapes Leadership: Kelsey emphasizes that strong culture produces strong leaders. Clearly defining company values created alignment and accountability across the organization. Hire for Behavior, Train for Skill: Skills can be taught, but behavior and attitude determine long-term success. Value-aligned behavior is the top hiring priority at Novex. Tech Supports People, Not Replaces Them: Despite AI advancements and logistics industry layoffs, Kelsey believes the human element relationships, communication, and personalized service remains irreplaceable. Letting Go Unlocks Growth: Kelsey's shift from controlling every detail to empowering her team was a turning point. Allowing others to lead freed her to focus on strategy, brand growth, and client relationships. Personal Growth Matters: The company's values don't just impact work they influence how employees show up in all areas of their lives, fostering well-rounded personal and professional development. Intentional Leadership Builds Thriving Teams: By trusting her team, creating clarity, and reinforcing shared values, Kelsey demonstrates how intentional leadership fuels sustainable growth and a strong organizational culture.

In this episode, CEO coach Gene Hammett explores what it truly means to Be Intentional as a Leader, encouraging listeners to examine their leadership style and uncover the barriers limiting their growth. Drawing from his recent keynote at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement, he introduces a clear two-part framework for elevating leadership, recognizing current hindrances, and defining the aspirational traits that drive stronger performance. Gene emphasizes the power of proactive, self-aware leadership in building engaged, high-performing teams and shares practical tools and resources to support deeper self-discovery and more effective, intentional leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:04 The Importance of Self-Reflection 5:44 Defining Your Leadership Identity 6:59 Evolving as a Leader 8:17 The Power of Intentionality 9:40 Strategies for Effective Leadership Identify who you're being that limits your leadership. Most leaders fall into the same cycle: open the laptop, answer emails, run spreadsheets, jump into meetings, put out fires… and repeat. I've been there, and maybe you're stuck in that same loop, working hard, but not necessarily leading intentionally. So pause for a moment and ask yourself: What would it take for me to be a better leader? And even more importantly, why do I want to be a better leader? Is your team performing below its potential? Do decisions keep landing back on your plate? Are you feeling overwhelmed or burned out? If so, this episode is for you. Recently, I spoke at the Association of Animal Welfare Advancement here in Atlanta. Their leaders were deeply committed to growing, and during that keynote, I shared one core idea: the power of intention in leadership. Here's a portion of that talk: "When you want to be a great leader, it doesn't happen by accident; it requires intention. You need the ability to shift with what's in front of you. Defining the leader you want to become may seem trivial or unnecessary, but it is foundational. Who are you being that gets in the way of being a better leader? And who do you want to become in the next level of yourself? You must be honest with yourself and claim the leader you're becoming." Are you scattered? Distracted? Overwhelmed? Too nice? Too empathetic? Too direct? These traits may not seem harmful, but when they're dialed too high, they create friction. Write them down on a 3×5 or 4×6 card, make it honest, uncomfortable, and real. This clarity helps you move away from what no longer serves your leadership. Define who you want to become. One of my clients captured this beautifully: Be decisive. Be focused. Be confident. Each week during our coaching sessions, we review how these traits showed up. This repetition creates accountability and reinforces their development. This is the work of intentional leadership, continuously evolving and expanding your capacity. Whether you're a CEO, founder, or senior leader, complacency kills performance. Growth requires reinvention. If you're new here, I'm Gene Hammett, CEO, coach, founder, and leadership development expert. We help executives and leadership teams create environments where people perform at their best, take ownership, and feel aligned with the mission. If you want to explore these ideas further without committing to a call, join my free training at training.corelevation.com. In about 90 minutes, we cover core principles, common mistakes, and the five steps to becoming a stronger, more intentional leader. To close today's episode, remember this: Being intentional is a superpower. Reactive leadership limits performance. A simple example comes from sales: smile before you dial. People can sense your energy even without seeing you. That's the intention at work. Imagine showing up 90–95% of the time as the leader you want to be decisive, focused, confident… or whatever traits matter most to you. One of my favorite examples from a client is the phrase: unshakably confident. Picture that being you. It's possible if you choose to lead with intention. If I can support you in any way, keep following our content, keep stepping up, and remember: when you think of growth and leadership, think of Growth Think Tank. Key Takeaways Great leadership never happens by accident it requires intention. Break the reactive work cycle by pausing to reflect on why you want to grow. Part 1: Define who you're being today that limits your leadership. Part 2: Define the leader you want to become (e.g., decisive, focused, confident). Writing your leadership identity on a simple card creates clarity and accountability. Intentionality is a leadership superpower that elevates performance and reduces overwhelm. "Smile before you dial" is a simple example of how intention shapes outcomes. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity.

In this episode, I dive into the powerful connection between coaching and effective leadership, drawing from my 13 years as a CEO coach. I discuss why many leaders overlook their potential as coaches and share practical ways to strengthen those skills, especially when things become messy or unpredictable. Instead of jumping in with quick answers, I highlight how asking the right questions can unlock your team's potential and spark real growth. I also share a few coaching models that make this easier in everyday leadership. By the end, you'll see how intentional coaching can create a stronger problem-solving culture and make you a more effective, inspiring leader.

After 13 years of coaching CEOs, I've seen how easy it is to get caught up in running sales, operations, and everything in between while forgetting the human side of leadership. Coaching isn't just another skill; it's the foundation for helping your team grow, think independently, and solve problems on their own. The Power of Asking Better Questions Here's the truth: real coaching isn't about giving answers, it's about asking the right questions. I talk about why slowing down and getting curious leads to deeper understanding and stronger teams. I also share a few practical coaching models and a story about a client who learned to turn frustration into growth simply by reframing conversations through better questions. When leaders make this shift, it changes everything from team culture to performance and engagement. Leading with Intention and Courage We wrap up by exploring what it means to lead with intention to coach with curiosity, patience, and courage. Creating a culture of problem-solving doesn't happen overnight, but it transforms how teams work and how businesses grow. And if you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I share a free resource at training.coreelevation.com to help you strengthen your coaching approach and build a team that thrives on independence and trust. Key Takeaways Great leadership starts with great coaching.

In this episode, I delve into the critical issue of becoming a bottleneck in your business as it grows, especially past the 15-employee mark. I discuss the tangible and intangible costs associated with a centralized decision-making process, emphasizing the importance of fostering independence and innovation within teams. I highlight the financial implications of delayed decision-making and explore how a bottleneck mentality can stifle creative input from team members, ultimately affecting morale and growth. Furthermore, I address the personal toll on leaders who feel the weight of control and the need for balance in their lives. By sharing inspiring examples, I encourage leaders to reflect on their roles and empower their teams, paving the way for a healthier organizational culture and sustainable growth. The Cost of Being a Bottleneck Financial Implications of Control Cultural Impact on Your Team Personal Consequences of Bottlenecking The Cost of Being a Bottleneck In this episode, I explore the critical issue of being the bottleneck in your business, a challenge that often emerges as organizations grow beyond the 15-employee mark. Early in a company's journey, it's natural for leaders to be at the center of every decision. But as the team expands, maintaining that same level of control can begin to slow progress, limit innovation, and create hidden costs that restrict growth. I discuss why this transition is such a pivotal leadership moment, one that requires shifting from hands-on management to empowering independence, critical thinking, and ownership across the team. Recognizing when your involvement is helping versus hindering becomes essential to scaling both effectively and sustainably. Financial and Cultural Implications of Control The first cost of being a bottleneck shows up financially. When decisions stall at the top, opportunities are missed, projects slow down, and innovation stagnates. These financial implications often go unnoticed, buried within declining momentum and unrealized revenue. I explain how identifying these bottlenecks can uncover the true cost of control and open pathways to faster, more efficient growth. Beyond finances, the cultural impact can be just as damaging. A bottleneck mentality often breeds hesitation among team members; they wait for approval rather than take initiative. This dynamic suppresses creativity, discourages ownership, and weakens morale. I share how fostering an open culture where ideas are welcomed and independent thinking is valued can reignite engagement, strengthen collaboration, and accelerate innovation across the organization. The Personal Consequences and the Path Forward Finally, I address the personal toll that being a bottleneck takes on leaders themselves. The constant need to control outcomes often leads to burnout, strained relationships, and declining well-being. Many leaders unintentionally trade their health and balance for a sense of control that ultimately limits both personal fulfillment and organizational success. I share real examples of leaders who recognized this pattern and transformed their approach, shifting from control to trust, from micromanagement to mentorship. These stories demonstrate that the path forward isn't about stepping back entirely, but about building a structure that thrives without constant oversight. As I close, I encourage listeners to reflect on their own leadership habits and join our upcoming training sessions designed to help overcome bottleneck challenges. Creating a business that runs smoothly without you isn't just an ideal, it's a mark of mature, sustainable leadership. Through real-world insights and inspiring examples, this episode serves as a call to action for leaders ready to evolve their approach. Discover how empowering your team to think independently not only boosts morale and innovation but also creates a healthier, more sustainable organization that thrives beyond your direct involvement.

Send us a textRandy Lyman, the self-described "spiritual cowboy," takes us on a fascinating journey from his roots as a left-brain physicist and tech entrepreneur to becoming an advocate for emotional intelligence as the missing key to personal transformation and business success.What happens when a scientifically-minded professional discovers the power of emotional processing? Randy shares the pivotal moment that changed everything—a profound emotional release during a business retreat that mysteriously resolved workplace issues he'd been struggling with for months. This scientist couldn't ignore the cause-and-effect relationship: healing his emotional wounds directly improved his external reality.Randy introduces us to what he calls "the third element"—emotions—which he positions as the most crucial component of the universe alongside thoughts and physical reality. He explains how unprocessed emotions operate beyond time and space, obligating the law of attraction to bring recurring challenging situations into our lives until we finally address and release the underlying pain. Through powerful examples, including helping a CEO reconnect with his struggling son, Randy demonstrates how emotional liberation creates space for positive experiences to enter our lives.For purpose-driven leaders, Randy offers transformative insights into creating cultures of belonging where team members feel truly heard and valued. His approach doesn't reject logic or diminish rational thinking but expands our toolkit to include emotional intelligence as an essential complement to intellectual capabilities. This integration allows for more holistic decision-making and human connection in an increasingly disconnected world.The conversation culminates with Randy's passionate reminder that we are all "sparks of divine creation" deserving of love and success, regardless of the stories we've been told about ourselves. Ready to discover how addressing your emotions could transform your life and work?
